AMATEUR FARMING.
Benevolent Gentleman Tries In Vain TO
Teach a Calf How to Drink.

Teach a Calf How to Drink.
Oace upon time there was certain
man who mad lived ON farm in an
amateurish way for about three MONTHS
and on a beautiful summer day he
girded up mis- loins and went forth, with
all the strength of his manhood and a
pail of fresh milk, to teach little red
calf, with soft brown eyes, to obtain the
tactical nourishment in other than the
way prescribed by nature.
The little creature was waiting, all
alone, in one corner of shed, each leg
braced in different direction, and with
wondering expression on its fiat little
cardinal-colored face. Subsequently
the following little monologue might
have been heard by listener in the ad-
joining shed:
500, Bossy, so-o-so-o--so-o-o."
'Nice Bossy, Bossy, Bossy. Here's
some nice milk for him to drink"
''Put his nose right down in the pail,
good boss. Ha-a-r! Where you goings
Come back here! Now get into that
corner and drink your milk, you ornery
brutei"
Mice milk-good for calfy-drink
like good bossy."
you won't, Ell? Get your foot out
of that pail, you whanged, mooIey-
headed, little fool!''
There, there. 5000, poor calfy,
calfy, calfy; drink his milk to make
him grow like a-Get off my foot. you
dod-gasted, clumsy, bull-headed luna
ticI'
Come, now, I've fooled long enough!
Stick your nose in that pail! Stick it
in there, I say, or Tll-O-o-o-h! What
are you buttin' me in the stomach for?
Get over there, now; $780,"
you can have just one more chance;
I'll just stick my fingers in bossy's
mouth, and take his head between my
legs, and then the little fellow can see
how-Hold on there-where you going?
Let me of;-you'll tip over the milk
pail-whoop! There she goes-Take
that, and that, and that, and starve to
death if you want to, you Anticipated,
low-lived little runt of Durham-Oh,
don stare at mein that way, you blank,
BANKED four-footed lunaticr'
80, you needn't blat at me-you
want your milk bad enough nowhere
it is; six quarts, at three cents quart,
gone to waste! You can stand in there
and blat and starve till wheat is two

are! I'd as lief pillow six acres in daym
And he went back to the house, and
held his peace; and when the hired man
came in he remarked, as though the
thought had just occurred to him, that
when the hired man got little time he
had better teach that red calf in the
sheep-shed to drink; and the hired man
went out straightway and taught him,
in just six minutes by the nickel-plated
watch which he traded the shotgun

UMBRELLA HISTORY.
The First Englishman Who Carried One
of These Useful Protectors.

of These Useful Protectors.
In Queen Anne's time it is mentioned
both by Swift and Gay as employed by
women, but up to the middle of the
eighteenth century it appears never to
have been used in England by men,
though Wolfe, the future conqueror of
Quebec, wrote from Paris in 1852, de-
scribing it as in general use in that
city, and wondering that so convenient
a practice had not yet penetrated to
England. Hanway, the famous tray
eler and philanthropist, who returned
to England in 1850, is said to have
been the first Englishman who carried
an umbrella; and a Scotch footman
named John Macdonald, who had
travelled with his master in France and
Spain, mentions in his curious autobi-
ography that he brought one to London
in 1878 and persisted in carrying it
in wet weather, though jeering
crowd followed him, crying: "French-
man, why don't you get a
coach?" In about three months,
he says, the annoyance almost ceased.
and gradually few foreigners and
then some Englishmen followed his ex-
ample. Defoe had described an UNI
brella as one of the contrivances of
Robinson Crusoe, and umbrellas were
in consequence at one time called
"Robinsons." They were long looked
on as sign of extreme effeminacy, and
they multiplied very slowly. DR..
Jameson, in 1882. is said to have been
the first person who used one at Glas-
gov, and Southey's mother, who was
born in 1852, was accustomed to say
that she remembered the time when
any one would have been hooted who
carried one in the streets of Bristol
A single coarse cotton one was often
kept in a coffee-house to be lent out to
customers, or in private house to be
taken out with the carriage and held
over the heads of ladies as they got in
or out; but for many years those who
used umbrellas in the streets were ex-
posed to the insults of the mob, and to the
persistent and very natural luminosity of
the hackney-coachmen, who despatched
them with mud and dashed them fu-
riously with their whips. But the man
ifest convenience of the new fashion
secured its ultimate triumph, and before
the close of the century umbrellas
had passed into general use.-Lecky' $

A sixteon-year-old boy at Green
wood, Ark, became enraged with his
mother, went at sunset to grove near
by, climbed tree, and declared he
would roost there all night. His mother
tried in vain for an hour to persuade
the kid to come down. Then she threat
ened to cut the tree down, and finally
sent for the town marshal, who climbed
the tree, placed rope about the young
ster's body, and lowered him to the

TEMPERANCE ADDRESS.

Our special reporter being in Ply
mouth on Monday night had the pleasure
of listening to the excellant speech on
Temperance delivered by Mr.. JOS.
Latham. The following is brief report
of the same.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
At your invitation I desire to make a
few remarks which hope you will listen
to with attention, trusting that if they
are not fraught with information they,
at least, may be a source of entertain
ment. For the past years 1 have wand
cred through the classic halls of the
University of North Carolina, imbibing
there at the fountain of knowledge
copious draughts of erudition, yet, amid
those sylvan scenes, amid those halls in
the communion with spirits of the great
departed, communing with the names
of the departed dead-Cicero, Demos
themes, XenophOn-while the beaded
dew stood on my brow, whilst burned
the midnight oil, my thoughts often
turned backward, in their onward flight,
to my dear old home by the Roanoke.
No matter where / wandered; in that
pandemonium of northumberland
Asylum, where the bowls of maniacs
make night hideous; by the ocean side,
as l watched the sad sea-wave, and |
looked over the tossing, restless main !

1--WE have been cautioned to keep
away because of the MALARIA preva-
lent there" This, says DR.. John of
the Carolinian, is the reply to an
invitation extended to a party from
one Of the Western States, while on a
prospecting tour, to visit our section.
There are quite number of sage
advertisers in the country who are
ready to aive direction to everything,
even to man in the selection of his
home, his all; and, in doing so, they
see nothing good in the domains of
others anl are utterly oblivious to
every hindrance existant in their own,
so anxious are they for q new neigh
ber and pc haps a wealthy citizen.
All this cry about the unhealthiness
OF East Carolina is a bugbear con-
structed AMI set up to brighten the
tlmld and, in some instances, to
accomplish sinister purpose. The
mortuary statistics in any town of
the Albemarle section will compare
with any place of any other section
of the known world-population and
and other things considered. Eden
ton with its two thousand population
has had three deaths during the whole
summer and, till now, in the fall.
Can any town say or expect more?
Answer, remembering that all men,
everywhere. are mortal, and, therefore
liable to disease. Answer and tell
US the truth,

EDITORIAL.

THE Biblical Recorder appreciates
the true position of ministers of the
gospel with reference to the temper
ance question. Paul reasoned of
temperance as well as of judgment
and other things that appertained to
the good of the early church, the tri-
umph of Christian principles. If he
considered it wise and CONSTANT
with his high Office as an apostle,
chosen of God, to urge upon his peo-
pc the necessity and benefits of
. 5stemiousness, if he, at times could
s"eak by permission and give direc-
ton 10 the material and social con-
Germs OF his people, surely we think
his successors need not he backward
in taking hold of a subject which
materially concerns the church, the
State and individuals alike. When
temperance becomes a political issue
in North Carolina, if, indeed, it will,
we think our ministers would be
decidedly recreant should they refuse
to heartily exercise their every power
and influence in it's behalf.
